 Rating:  - Turbo Design 101Wow! Just what I was looking for. Corky has put together a collection of formulas and uncommon sense that is needed to design and build turbo systems. I love it. I used this book to create an Excel worksheet full of needed design formulas. I can now make tradeoffs and design decisions before I build it, and I have a much better chance of getting what I expect, without a bunch of cut and try and try again attempts. Corky's book will be a huge help to me, and I imagine it ...

I recently purchased it again, since my original copy was misplaced. I used it to double check my design, & everything works, very well. I made a 18second car run mid 15s, with a junkyard turbo. The car has more potential also. Rating:  - good book on turbochargingI believe this book covered turbocharging and what is needed in order to make your car operational with a turbo well. It is very good book if you go in with minimum knowledge of turbos. It tells you good information on setting up your car with a turbo and choosing the right one. But I do recommend to get the most out of it you need some good understanding of cars and engines before you read it.

Read More Rating:  - Did not meet my expectationsThere is some good theory in this book, but it is sparse. I feel this book is more an introduction to turbos, rather than the highly technical how to do it all yourself, book I was looking for. I would not feel comfortable picking out a turbo for my car, after reading this book. This book was a huge letdown for me. Rating: - Great bookIt lived up to the expectations. It tries to cover everything about tuning turbocharged engines, so not every aspect is as detailed as the next. Still a great buy, although the images look a bit old fashioned.
